The tweet by the official hundle of Delhi Police was no longer visible on their page or over the micro-blogging network in a few hours, even as senior officials claimed that the tweet was not deleted.

Special Commissioner of Police (Operation) Sundari Nanda said that the only objective of the tweet was to ensure that people in Delhi do not face any inconvenience for the demonstration by being aware of it in advance.

Delhi Police’s tweet virtually appeared to have originated from Bardez in Goa, which senior officials said might have been a technical glitch.

Sundari Nanda later assured that the tweet was posted from Delhi.

The tweet also drew sharp reactions from twitteratti among other AAP leaders.
